Q.ENEST Denki Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Hoshino; hereinafter "the Company"), a subsidiary of Q.ENEST Holdings Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hee Jae Chang), and Q.ENEST Power LLC have commenced the provision of renewable energy via corporate PPA (off-site physical method) and high-voltage power to two locations in the Kanto area operated by Adient LLC (Location: Yokohama, Kanagawa; hereinafter "Adient"), the Japanese subsidiary of Adient, a global supplier of automotive seats, starting April 1, 2026.
Through this initiative, renewable energy generated at five existing solar power plants owned by Q.ENEST Power is delivered via the power grid to Adient's two Kanto locations. By using a hybrid structure combined with high-voltage power tailored to the operational characteristics of each site, it supports Adient in simultaneously achieving decarbonization and stabilizing electricity costs.
## Overview of the Initiative
- Target locations: Adient LLC Headquarters (Yokohama, Kanagawa) and Oppama Plant (Yokosuka, Kanagawa)
- Power plants: Five solar power plants owned by Q.ENEST Power LLC
- Supply method: Hybrid structure of off-site corporate PPA + high-voltage power
- Estimated annual power generation: Approx. 523,000 kWh
- Annual CO2 reduction: 1,149.35 t-CO2 (of which 219.79 t-CO2 is reduced via PPA)
- Supply start date: April 1, 2026
- Supply period: 1 year from the actual start of receipt (renewable subsequently via annual consultation)
## Background
In the domestic automotive industry, there is a growing movement toward decarbonization across the entire supply chain. At the domestic locations of Adient, a supplier of automotive seats, there is a demand to reduce CO2 emissions from electricity procurement and prepare for future cost increases.
This initiative was realized against this backdrop as part of Adient's concrete steps to decarbonize electricity procurement at its domestic locations.
